Asking for an email to watch? For something like this? Are they planning to spam people after to try and sell product? Some marketing manager is being a bit old company on this one.

#82How are they doing this without triggering a browser prompt to allow my location to be sent by browser? The result for me was very accurate. Why wouldn't all the ecommerce sites use this method? I keep denying their prompts to access my location otherwise. https://location.teslamotors.com/geoip/v1.0.3/city/
Your ISP sold your location.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
Supposedly with a 300 mile range versus ~1400 miles for a typical semi truck. I'm sure there are niche uses, but it isn't any sort of enormous breakthrough. Edit: Product page says 300/500 range, so some option I guess: https://www.tesla.com/semi/?new
Shouldn't be an issue - not all trucks are long haul, lots of trucks do pickup & delivery and never leave the city they're in.
That seems reasonable for a box truck or similar. I'm skeptical about a semi though. I'm sure there are some use cases, just not convinced it's a significant percentage.
It also rules out consecutive/night shifts with a second driver.
Edit: Product page says 300 miles standard, but a 500 mile option: https://www.tesla.com/semi/?new
Re: Tesla Semi
#84It's got a 500 mile range, which is pretty decent, compared to the rumored 300 mile range.

#85Unlike their cars, if they want to be successful they will need to release factory service manuals and sell parts to repair them. It's not going to be acceptable to send it to some far away service center to be repaired, at least for small outfits that heavily use all their equipment. When a critical piece of equipment is down, the mechanic is going to be working through the night hacking it together, possibly waitin…
I have read the same comment (slightly modified) on HN since telsa announced their first vehicle. Tell me, have you actually worked on a new model truck? Because the days of a service manual and a backyard shed are over
I don't think they're talking about a backyard shed. More like a distribution business with a fleet of 50 trucks, a well-equipped garage and a full-time mechanic.

#90The poor guys are self-DDoS'ing themselves. They keep requesting https://livestream.tesla.com/haveReservationsStarted every 30 seconds. Most of the requests are failing with 502 HTTP errors.
Why are they hosting their own streaming service instead of using YouTube?
More people need to start hosting their own streaming service instead of automatically relying on Google Almighty to take care of life for them.
Kudos to Tesla for trying.
